Flow name is Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA) standard

  • CIBA is an OpenID Foundation specification that defines a decoupled flow where a client application (the AI agent’s backend, for example) can initiate an authentication request without direct interaction from the user on the same device. The user then approves or denies the request on a separate, trusted authentication device (like a mobile phone), typically via a push notification to an authenticator app or via SMS or email.
